Universal Studios Hollywood is ushering in 2018 by celebrating New Year's Eve with an event dubbed EVE on Sunday, December 31.
With the theme park's hours extended to 1:00 a.m. local time, Universal Hollywood is offering a special park-wide countdown party featuring multiple entertainment hubs with DJs and live music, starting at 9:00 p.m. local time.
Included in the price of theme park admission, EVE will transform Universal Plaza, Simpsons Plaza and an area near "Jurassic Park-The Ride" into three unique party hubs that will culminate simultaneously at midnight with a traditional New Year countdown and a spectacular fireworks display.
Visitors to the California theme park will be able to purchase 2018 memorabilia to celebrate the event, as well as food and beverages, including specialty desserts, champagne, beer and wine.
In addition to the New Year's Eve festivities, Universal Hollywood is celebrating the holidays with The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle during Christmas in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy the final day of "Grinchmas" on December 31, featuring The Grinch, his faithful dog Max and a roster of Who-ville Whos.
